Some have even compared its effectiveness to corticosteroid injections [4]. To bring more attention to this new technique, the term Glucopuncture was introduced in January 2021. Glucopuncture is a medical procedure which applies isotonic glucose injections for the management of non-rheumatic musculoskeletal conditions [5]. The technique consists of multiple injections of G5W (Glucose 5% in Water) in the region of complaint. Intradermal injections are given for pain modulation, intralesional injections are given in, for example, muscles, tendons, and ligaments to stimulate tissue repair. One can also apply these injections adjacent to peripheral nerve endings [6] or in the epidural space [7]. In this case report, both intradermal and intraligamentous injections were applied.","PeriodicalId":93315,"journal":{"name":"Journal of medical case reports and reviews","volume":"96 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75642733","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, some patients still progress with IOP apparently in the target range. This observation has been explained on the basis that other non-IOP dependent risk factors are contributing to the glaucoma pathogenesis in these individuals. An alternative explanation is that progression occurs at least in - part due to high IOP peaks not detected during routine eye examinations. Several studies have demonstrated that peak IOP may be a better predictor of glaucoma progression. IOP peak assessment has been used recently to verify if the peak pressure of a given patient is in target range, to evaluate glaucoma suspect risk, the efficacy of hypotensive drugs and to detect early loss of IOP control. These are important aims to be addressed in glaucoma management. Several methods have been described to assess IOP peaks. The costs and labor involved in this make the determination of the 24-hour IOP or contact lens-sensor are difficult if not impossible in all patients. Recently the water drinking test (WDT) has been used as a surrogate marker for outflow reserve to detect IOP instability and to estimate IOP peak pressure. Peak IOP elicited by this test may be an indicator for the likelihood of progression and efficacy of hypotensive drugs the aim this manuscript is to present the importance of detecting IOP peaks in glaucoma management.","PeriodicalId":93315,"journal":{"name":"Journal of medical case reports and reviews","volume":"64 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76481415","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This is the Darwinian assumption and is the most common method of analysis. Just recently, for example, the following sequence VLLFLAFVV was identified as a common epitope in the Envelope protein (E) of both SARS and COVID19 [3] and they suggest this as the epitope for the basis of a vaccine. Their work is quite pretty. However, we feel that this may not be the best epitope on which to base a vaccine. We have two reasons. Firstly, this sequence is completely hydrophobic and that is rare in antibody-epitope interactions.","PeriodicalId":93315,"journal":{"name":"Journal of medical case reports and reviews","volume":"54 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76589578","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
